SYNCHRO NINE FACTOR - LESS THAN I (SEARAD MIX)
http://www.myspace.com/synchroninefactor
http://www.myspace.com/snfremixes
Since the late ‘90s, Atlanta’s Synchro Nine Factor has been a mechanized force on the local and national scene. Hardcore industrial fans have witnessed the band’s performances with the likes of Chemlab, Sister Machine Gun and Zeromancer while more casual listeners might have heard snippets of songs from the band’s 1999 debut CD Right Wing Conspiracy on MTV’s Making the Video and elsewhere.
After taking a bit of a hiatus over the past few years, Synchro Nine Factor has been busier then ever in recent months. With the departure of longtime bassist and programmer Robby Johnson, the core duo of Nelson and Jamie Hagood decided to regroup by stripping down the darkwave sound they had become known for in favor of a more traditional rock approach.
But before starting this new chapter, the siblings revisited Right Wing Conspiracy and it’s slightly more guitar-oriented follow-up, 2003’s re[deploy], by giving the songs a remix treatment on the appropriately titled re[mix]. Released in late 2007, re[mix] features contributions from the likes of Autovon, PsiVamp, John Omen and Stan Satin.
While re[mix] played up the band’s electronic and industrial past, the more recent release, 20:20, heads in a direction more akin to alternative metal acts like Helmet, Prong and Alice in Chains. While samples and effects haven’t been completely abandoned, songs like “Where Do We Go From Here” and “Skyscraper” seem much more metal oriented in hindsight, thanks in part to the addition of Keith Downs on drums.
Prior to the release of the EP, the band has remained busy with live performances throughout the Southeast. Synchro Nine Factor continues the 20:20 push with a steady stream of live shows to support its release to radio and media outlets. Joining the band onstage is bassist Gary Gilbert, a veteran performer who also adds to the band’s hard rock approach.
With a new lineup, a heavy hitting new release and a reinvigorated musical approach, Synchro Nine Factor is poised to reclaim its dominance on the Atlanta music scene and beyond. And while the sound has changed somewhat, this revamped version of the band is likely to attract fans of the previous albums while also drawing in new listeners looking for a refreshing twist on mainstream metal.
JEAN MONTAG & DANIEL LAMBERT - UMP

OUR DAUGHTERS WEDDING - RAINCOATS & SILVERWARE
http://www.myspace.com/ourdaughterswedding
http://www.almacantarrecords.com/product_info.php?cPath=51&products_id=82
Lawnchairs, they sang, were everywhere. And who can deny that? Unfortunately, the group was about 10 years ahead of its time and far from the painfully repetitive mainstream rock of the late '70s. People were still blearily focused on the Bee Gees, Pink Floyd and The Knack. One day in 1980, members of Our Daughters Wedding decided to expand their horizons, packed themselves into a boat-like 1968 Chevrolet Caprice and headed east for the New York music scene. From there they took Europe by storm, touring from Germany to Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and England. The group found itself part of a growing new Eurosound and the Bay Area was left wondering what ever happened to those lawnchair guys.
By 1985, the band was no more and all anybody had were memories and a few vinyl singles on the Design Records Label (we love you Lil $), A special 5 song Mini Album and a full length Album on the EMI America Label, a Division of Capitol Records. Our Daughters Wedding, however, was not to be forgotten and, just a few weeks ago, their never-before-released 22-track CD compilation "Night Life: The Collection" was launched by Almacantar Records and is available at http://www.almacantarrecords.com
This was a breath of fresh air for Our Daughters Wedding aficionados like Alan Novak, a longtime insider with the electronic rock trio. "They were pretty phenomenal then and I think they're still phenomenal now," said Novak, a driving force behind the CD revival. "They were just great musicians." Two of the band members, Layne Rico and Scott Simon, are living in Los Angeles and New Jersey, respectively. Rico is a corporate jet pilot and Simon is raising horses. Although the pair are no longer the electronic warriors of the 1980s, they're both excited about the compilation CD and are talking about getting together in February to make some new music. After an appeal the band have now made contact with the gov Keith Silva!!

In the densely populated electronic scene — greatly comprised of solo artists and duos — the sight of a four-piece band is a rare surprise. Even harder to find are groups that truly defy the trappings of operating within a defined genre.
Enter Transformantra, and their body of work from 1995-1999. Perhaps it was the interplay of Transformantra’s four members that allowed them to flourish outside a “style of the month”. Each member seemed to give the music his/her own funked up vision of how the universe should sound. Weeding out predictability was an easy task with the headstrong soundsmiths of Transformantra on hand.
The group's story began in the summer of 1995 in
“...a top-ranking set of steady, powerful digital beat explorations... Transformantra spin original accents onto the techno form, expanding the genre while keeping techno’s original searching spirit in mind... Impressive stuff.”
— Urb
“This
— Alternative Press
“An album that took me by surprise... Transformantra manage to develop their own 66 minutes of sound which covers all the bases analog and digital. “Satan’s Address” is a mid-tempo track with flanged moog-style bass keyboards and a dense beat. The album evolves and expands on the darker, slower “Glaci-ied” that begins with spacey ambience a la Orb before releasing a chopped break. Nice.”
— XLR8R
“...this crew keeps it on the good foot, albeit twisted, mangled funk, throwing in liberal doses of dub on “Satan’s Address” and “Nugget Matic.” “Glaci-ied” is a chilly enclave of pointillist pulses and icy synth washes. “Fragments Of Illumination” is ‘80s electro with its fierce static rhythms and its propulsive grooves... Transformantra has made the transition into being one of the most exciting techno acts around, and this debut shouts out loud and clear that they can match anybody, anywhere.”
— Exclaim!
Unfortunately, despite all of the great reviews, and the immediate sell-out of the CD's initial pressing, the young record label that issued the releases (Silver USA) went belly-up. Undeterred, Transformantra set about recording a follow-up album. Transformantra 2 caught the ear of Dave Allen (Gang Of Four, Shriekback) and his World Domination Recordings label (whose roster included Loop Guru, 60 Channels and Perfume Tree, amongst other notables). But just as this new record deal was being finalized in 1999, and World Domination's email newsletters were announcing Transformantra's forthcoming second release, THAT label closed up shop as well. Unfortunately, the band decided to follow suit, with its members pursuing various other musical and non-musical endevours.
Cut to 2006 and the remastering of Transformantra's debut CD and 12" as a combined online-only release. This new expanded version of the album includes the previously-unreleased "Reelization" — an explosive industrial dub improv recorded live during the group's 1998 Canadian Music Week set in
Also released in late 2006 was the long-awaited unveiling of Transformantra 2. Although the album was originally recorded in 1998-99, its nine tracks have aged remarkably well. With the exception of "Lover" (the only previously-released track of the set, and the group's sole exploration of a distinct genre — i.e. drum and bass), the album is a bold continuation of the dub-informed pan-genre sound that Transformantra was becoming known for.
In performance, Transformantra was a hybrid of live instrumentation and on-the-fly remixing. Heightening the show was dancer King Svenie, a veteran of the
Besides the Black Dog, Transformantra shared the stage with other luminaries such as Alex Paterson (The Orb), Stacey Pullen and Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia.

SEX, DRUGS & SYNTHERSISERS
Deviant
This band is defined onstage, consolidating an ever-growing fanbase with intensive live dates including Wave Gotik Treffen, Infest, Nocturnal Culture Night,
Quintessentially English & proud of it, Deviant UK is masterminded by devilish singer, songwriter & frontman Jay Smith ("a true showman with an ego the size of a planet" - Rocksound Magazine). This is dark synthetic pop with a black heart, Smith's frozen, angst-ridden vocals coating every song in ice. Memorable hooks & fist-in-the-air choruses demonstrate a pop science that stands Deviant UK head & shoulders above their peers.
Skillfully avoiding many of the cliches associated with the scene, a strong image and stage presence works hand-in-hand with the music to deliver a package that ticks all the boxes. Smith engages audiences head-on with an overwhelming confidence that is equal parts arrogance, charisma & psychosis.
His lyrical stance is suitably dark; everyone has a secret to hide, friends will always let you down & love inevitably ends badly. Forget vague symbolism, B-Movie futurism or tired political posturing: Smith opts for a truly personal, first-person view into a bacchanalian world of sin, excess & insecurity, framed by humour so black that it can only come from having been there, seen it & done it.
With 'Barbed Wire Star' hailed as a classic debut, further European and US tour dates lie ahead following triumphant performances at Wave Gotik Treffen & Infest - invited to play for a second time as 'easily the most requested UK act in the history of the festival'. The recent collaborations with Imatem [Project Pitchfork] & Rotersand are topping alternative charts across Europe & the second Deviant UK album 'Very Bad Things' is scheduled for release in Spring 2009: bigger, harder and better. New anthems like 'My Black Heart', 'You Will Burn' & 'Bad Influence' are already highlights of the live set - Jay Smith raising the stakes once again. Who would bet against him now? Not you.




FINE TIME - NIGHT TRAIN

"Fine Time consists of the two chameleonic musicians Tom Time (Drums, Percussions, Synths, Sequencing a.o.) and Phil Fine (Guitar, Bass, Samplez, Synths and Vocs). From time to time some guest-musicians like the gifted young songstress Charlène and "Mister Bubbleizer" TooFaze from the band Last Equinox joining the band. To pigeonhole this band is an almost impossible mission. Their repertoire stretches across New Wave/Age, Electronic-Body-Music, Ambient Sounds to the point of Reggae-rhythms. A sound that has not been heard since the 80's. They mix modern sequencer-sounds with samples and conventional instruments like drums/percussions, guitar or bass-guitar. The musical results of this fusion are absolutly unique. The whole thing is rounded out by ambitious, political and sociocritical lyrics, which seemed to be extinct since the 70's. An innovative project, which clarifies the change of the music-biz."
